德望中學

哈里波特

知唔知面試問什麼? 需要有什麼準備?
好緊張, 下周六去 interview.  
有無家長上兩年去interview過, 請大家幫下忙!

哈里波特

都唔知想佢中好, 定唔中好, 因為真係唔想比錢讀中學.
無論如何, 盡力而為, 聽天由命.

哈里波特

唔係咁恐怖呀, 等我個女in完看看佢有無異樣先. 佢平日食得, 訓得, 玩得, 當我死的, 我睇無咁"ja" wor.

哈里波特

其實St. Paul Convent 仲好過德望, 但德望係直資之中截止最先的一間中學, 都要去試試, 唔試唔知自己位置及實力.  其實今次有得in, 已經叫做安心d. 最少佢d料有人睇, 有人認同.  我係deadline最後一日交表的, school open 8:30am, I arrived 9:30am, 一早已經收了成呎咁多profilio.

我也打算報St. Paul Convent, 不過好"羅"命, 要個女做 4 個book reports, 2 in Chinese & 2 in English. 帶埋書去做presentation.

請問 DoReMi媽媽, Good Hope, St. Paul Co-ed & St. Paul Convent in d "口麥", Good Hope 話家長都要去, 家長又in  d "口麥", 請告知.  Thanks a lot.

哈里波特

redapple,

Thanks a lot. I will let my daughter see your message and tell her how to get ready.

哈里波特

DoReMi 媽媽.

Thank you for your information.

哈里波特

I don't know how many applicants this year, but I know sortlisted 85 students to interview.  Finally accept 30-40 seats.

哈里波特

Yes, sure.  Are you P6 parent?  Have you been taken the interview last Saturday?  

哈里波特

OK 啦, 吹水我強項, 但我個女吹水唔掂, 問佢鍾意去beach or country park, she said beach & told a lot of activities in beach.  But the teacher ask "do you like country park too" she said "No, because there is a lot of grass"    其實佢一下子想不出來, 隨便答就算, 實在太唔冷靜.

哈里波特

廣東話先有發揮機會, 講英文就一聲Hi, 一聲bye. 我d Chinglish 都好勁, 再唔係扮講Spanish/Italian/German...搏佢唔識聽, 勝在敢嘗試 he..he...

緊係廣東話, 都係問日常野, 對自己個女的認識, 平日做d咩野.....之類.

Chance 一半啦.  因85人interview 當中有大約10人同校, 大部份成績好過小女. 不過可能佢地去做預習, 準備一擊即中St. Paul Co-ed / DGS 之流.  很難說, 我唔介意人棄我取, 最緊要有份參與.

哈里波特

I agreed.  But I'm not familiar with your district, we are in Yau Tsim Mong.  I know some of them are better than GHS, such as Maryknol, 協恩, how about the rest, can you quote some example?

Although I'm sure my daughter is band 1 student, I don't want play lucky draw.  I agreed some of the famous schools are better than GHS, but their requirement are comparative higher than GHS.  I never hear a student who confirm to get a place in round 1, it's really difficult.

I have a niece, I always quote her as she is the best in our family tree, she continued got #1 in the form from P1-P6, she takes St. Paul Co-ed.  At that time, she choose St. Paul Convent in 1 round.  But somehow they didn't want to wait, St. Paul Co-ed just gave them 2 days for confirmation.  

I don't know what will be happen, I'm not sure even GHS accept my daughter & I will take or not.  Take it easy, I do all to my daughter, and the rest pass it to the god.  

哈里波特

Hi chungmingbaby,

Do you have daughters/friends studying in GHS?  Your info is really helpful, I like small group learning English & I like project base assignment instead of Exam.  I have told the interviewer, my daughter's strength is doing project.  She likes, but she puts too much time there.  She learns a lot while doing project as children are easy to be influence by peers.

I'm not sure my daughter can get a place in GHS or not?  But I need to consider deeply which school is suitable for her in advance.

Hope all children can go to their dream school.

Cheers,

哈里波特

Hi, it's really nice.  Can find 2 parents here.  In fact, I know nothing about this schoool besides have a look on GHS web-site.  After reading both of your message, I like this school much.  May I ask more questions about this school?

1) Besides school fee, any additional fee needed to be paid such as annual donation, misc. fee...., as so long time ago, when my daugher was applying P1, someone said that the application form need to write down how much you intended to donated each year.

2) Any extra-cirr your daughter joined? Is it the tutor fee / coach fee is high?  How much?

Please share or if you don't want to share here, can you PM me.

Thanks a lot.

哈里波特

Thank you for your sharing.

哈里波特

呀女三個同學都收到信, 但佢地全部都話唔讀, 話仲有得博, 因佢地成績都唔錯架.

Tell us what's your decision. :  

哈里波特

豬仔羊咩咩
"I believe you have made the choice otherwise you did not give up others and applied Good Hope in November."
I cannot fully understand this message, but for your information, when we applied GHS in November, we give up nothing.  We still can apply other government school in round 1 & round 2 provided that we sign acceptance with GHS.  So, a lot of changes during November to this moment.  So, a lot of parents like me, applied it first & see what's the next.  Of course, it is time consume to do a profile & arranging time to interview, so for me, GHS is good, otherwise, I will not waste my time to apply it.

To all BK,
I still receive nothing in my mail box, I've called GHS this afternoon & learnt that letter will be sent from now up to end of January.  I'm not eager, all up to the god's arrangement.

On the other hand, for my daughter's classmates, they told us they will not take it, I know some of them could not afford the school fee after deeply calculate their household income.  Of course, one of them got very good acadamic result, she ranks 6/200 in the form.  I believe St. Paul Lam Tin must accept this girl if she apply it in round 1, it is because St. Paul Lam Tin is only concern the acadamic result.  And St. Paul Lam Tin is the same group with St. Paul Convent, they got same excellent HKCEE & HKAL result.  That's why this girl will not accept it.

So, I think everyone has their own decision & BK could be given a room for sharing.

With best wishes to all BK members
